Terms in this palace · Tap for a plain explanation

You work steadily and keep your word.

People around you trust you, and life runs on an even keel.

Stars
Wu Qu NatureYou are resolute and decisive, efficient in what you do and sensible with money. When you dig in, leave a little room for softness.
Tian Xiang NatureYou are fair-minded and good at bringing people together, someone others trust. While you look out for everyone, keep your own view too.
Wu Qu–Tian Xiang in Yin/ShenWu Qu is tough and decisive, and Tian Xiang is honest and steady. You are firm with a steady core.
Tian Xiang at MiaoClassical texts say Tian Xiang makes a person kind, steady and upright, fond of good food and drink, and well provided for. Today, it means you treat people generously, know how to enjoy life, and do not want for basics.“The Nature of Tian Xiang”
For MenClassical texts say Tian Xiang in the Life Palace makes a person strongly self-disciplined. Today, it means you know how to hold yourself back and put the big picture first, so people naturally trust you.“The Nature of Tian Xiang”
Life Master Lu CunDeep down you want stability and value security and practicality. Holding steady is a skill; do not let it keep you from moving. Your Life Master sits in your Career Palace, so your thoughts often circle around work.
Patterns
Clash from OppositeHuo Xing clashes in from the Travel Palace opposite: things are easily thrown off by outside events in your own life. Leave some margin on big decisions.
This part follows the Flying Star school: where this palace's stem sends its transformations. It is a different method from the classical reading above.
Lu to ParentsThe palace stem sends Tian Liang Hua Lu into your Parents Palace: the effort you put in here tends to pay off with elders.
Quan to CareerAt work you want to be in charge and suit taking responsibility or going your own way. Grab the chance when it comes.
Self Hua JiYou tend to pile the pressure on yourself and overthink. Saying it out loud takes half the weight off.
Minor Stars
En GuangYou are easily appreciated, and someone often gives you a hand at key moments. Make the most of every chance to be seen.
Tian GuanYou have good fortune and standing, and people often look after you and treat you with respect. Cherish it; do not take it for granted.
Lin GuanThings come easily and you feel sure of yourself. Use the momentum to take one more step.
Jiang JunYou act decisively and with presence. Beyond the authority, mind how others feel.

The Life Palace is about: Who you are at the core: your temperament and innate makeup. Every chart reading starts here.

What the Quan Shu says about this palaceLook at where Zi Wei lodges: it presides over the whole order of the heavens and leads the constellations to form the enclosures. If the earth star rests in its own enclosure, it is as if it could set things in motion. The metal star is in sole charge of the treasury and most fears Kong Wang, the empty positions.“Tai Wei Fu” ›Tian Ji gives a figure neither tall nor short, and a heart inclined to do good. Wu Qu has a code of conduct that is utterly strict and held utterly tight, and a resolute, decisive mind.“Xing Xing Fu” ›Ju Men is a star of right and wrong, quarrels and gossip; in its temple the person is honest, warm and kind. Tian Xiang is full of vigour, Tian Liang steady and weighty, with a heart as pure as jade and as clear as ice.“Xing Xing Fu” ›My Quan Shu (39 lines on this palace) ›

Where the chart lines up

The Tibetan Mastiff: Wu Qu in the Life Palace

Zhang Jike plays with extreme aggression. Coach Liu Guoliang gave him the nickname Tibetan Mastiff for a temperament that is hard to tame, and the International Table Tennis Federation has described him as a player born for the big occasion. The main stars of his Life Palace are Wu Qu (De) and Tian Xiang (Miao). In plain terms Wu Qu is hard, direct and quick to act, ready to meet a big match head-on. That lines up with his fierce, unyielding style of play.

Olympic gold in London, 2012

In the men's singles final at the 2012 London Olympics, Zhang Jike beat Wang Hao 4–1 to take gold, completing the Grand Slam in 445 days, the fastest of any player. By the chart he was nominal age 26 that year, inside the Decade Luck of his Spouse Palace (roughly 2010–2019). Both the decade's Four Transformations and the annual Four Transformations of 2012, a Ren Chen year, put Zi Wei with Hua Quan (Transformation of Power) in his natal Career Palace: authority at work lit up twice over, and the chart shows these years centered on his career.

His toughest rival was a teammate

In all three finals of Zhang Jike's Grand Slam, at the World Championships, the World Cup and the Olympics, his opponent was teammate Wang Hao; his peers on the national team were also his biggest rivals. Among his birth-year Four Transformations, Tian Tong with Hua Quan and Ju Men with Hua Ji (Transformation of Obstruction) both fall in the Siblings Palace. The Siblings Palace covers peers and those who stand alongside: Hua Quan means having to settle who comes out on top, and Hua Ji marks where care and effort go. The hardest hurdle stood right beside him, among equals.
